Shi Heng and Gu Youran's eyes met again.

At that moment, time seemed to have been paused and everything was silent.

Only two heartbeats are resonating.

They hugged each other tightly, their breathing mixing together.

No words needed.

That is the most sincere emotional exchange.

Gu Xun silently watched the two people hugging each other.

His eyes were full of envy.

He had never seen such pure love.

That feeling of being able to understand each other without saying much.

He seemed to see what love looked like, the emotional bond that transcends time and space and belongs only to two people.

At this moment, he believed in the existence of love again.

Just as Gu Xun was immersed in his own thoughts.

Shi Heng and Gu Youran had already left quietly.

They walked hand in hand into the Emperor's Restaurant.

Here, an international food feast is in full swing.

Top chefs from more than a dozen countries are showcasing their superb cooking skills and their ultimate understanding of ingredients.

Gu Youran excitedly held Shi Heng's hand, with childlike curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.

"Heng, look at that chef from Country M over there. He's simmering the broth over a slow fire. The aroma is so delicious, it's simply intoxicating!"

Shi Heng looked at her lovingly, with a gentle smile on his lips.

"Okay, Youbao, you have a really good nose. Let's go try it now."

Gu Youran's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay, let's go try it. Tonight, I want to try all the chefs' specialties!"

Hand in hand, the two walked through the bustling crowd towards the booth of the chef from Country M.

Their voices gradually faded away, leaving only a pair of intimate backs.

Under the light, it looks particularly warm and sweet.

And this scene all fell into Mu Xuewei's eyes.

At this moment, she was sitting alone in a dark corner of the restaurant.

His eyes were fixed on the happy couple.

The jealousy and resentment in her heart spread like wildfire, burning her heart and causing her unbearable pain.

"Why, why is Gu Youran the only one he has eyes for?"

Mu Xuewei murmured softly, twisting the napkin tightly with her fingers, almost tearing it into pieces.

At this moment, a low and pleasant voice sounded in her ears.

"Weiwei, it seems that you still can't forget your feelings for Shiheng."

It was Chu Beiyuan.

At some point, he had sat down opposite Mu Xuewei with a playful smile on his face.

Mu Xuewei turned her head suddenly, with surprise in her eyes, which was quickly replaced by anger.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"

Chu Beiyuan chuckled, took out a cell phone from his pocket and pushed it in front of her.

What was playing on the screen was the video of Shi Heng proposing to Gu Youran affectionately in the dark night bar.

In the picture, Shi Heng is kneeling under the bright lights, his eyes full of tenderness and determination.

The romance at that moment seemed to penetrate the screen and touch people's hearts.

Mu Xuewei's eyes were slightly red.

She looked at the scene on the screen in disbelief, and the pain in her heart became even worse.

"Shi Heng... He would actually go to such lengths for Gu Youran..."

Seeing this, Chu Beiyuan raised his lips into a smug smile.

"Weiwei, it seems that you really care. However, you and I both know that the person in Shi Heng's heart will never be you."

Mu Xuewei's clenched fists trembled slightly.

She said bitterly, "I'm going to make Gu Youran's life worse than death. I'm going to destroy her face so that she can never attract Shi Heng's attention again."

"I also want to take something from her, something that is most precious to her..."

Chu Beiyuan's eyes grew deep, and he spoke slowly, "It sounds like you have a good plan. However, I can help you, but you'll need to pay a small price."

Mu Xuewei looked straight at him when she heard that.

She pursed her lips tightly, as if weighing something.

"What's the price?"

She finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

Chu Beiyuan smiled evilly, and a hint of tenderness appeared on his charming face.

Also, a bit of fun.

He slowly stood up and approached Mu Xuewei step by step.

Until the distance between the two was so close that they could feel each other's breath.

He leaned over and leaned close to Mu Xuewei's ear, and said in a voice that only she could hear, "How about staying with me for one night?"

Mu Xuewei's face turned pale in an instant.

She widened her eyes and looked at Chu Beiyuan in disbelief.

She wanted to retort, to refuse.

But when the words reached her lips, they turned into a weak growl: "Who do you think I am? I am the eldest daughter of the Mu family, one of the four major families. How can you be worthy of me?"

Chu Beiyuan was not angry, but sat back in his original seat leisurely.

He crossed his legs and looked at Mu Xuewei with a playful look.

Chu Beiyuan was admiring the anger and unwillingness on her face.

Enjoying the feeling of being in control of everything.

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's suitable or not."

Chu Beiyuan chuckled, his tone full of provocation.

Mu Xuewei was so angry that she was shaking all over and stood up suddenly.

She wanted to turn around and leave, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't move an inch.

She knew that although Chu Beiyuan's request was shameless, the resources in his hands were what she needed most.

If she refuses, her plan will be in vain.

All her efforts will be wasted.

Mu Xuewei took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She looked at Chu Beiyuan, her eyes full of resentment.

"Chu Beiyuan, do you think I will give in to you so easily? The word 'surrender' does not exist in my dictionary, Mu Xuewei!"
